Please be sure to thank GhaithSYR for his killer Rom first and foremost b/c he made this beast, we just ported it so it works on our beloved J700T. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7/development/rom-t3709669

Rom Download:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1aLN-RFdOvq1p7Wny_OaOuDceiNw8ye3Q

Install instructions:
Download to external SD card
Wipe everything but internal and external
Flash rom, systemless root, and encryption breaker zip
Reboot
Enjoy
*please note for maximum resolution turn on high performance mode.
which also leads into the only bug which is DO NOT TOUCH THE RESOLUTION!!! U will have to wipe and re install.
High Perf sets it to 720 so forget its even there.
You cannot screenshot while on High perf mode. turn off to screenshot.

Lastly!!
Please make sure to at least hit the thanks button.

We do not do this for money. We do this for those who cannot and bc mainly STOCK SUCKS!!

We are busy dudes with almost an army of kids between us so at least hit the freaking thanks button.
Bottom right, click the thanks.

Thanks again to the international J7 developers for all their support and allowing us to port their amazing work.
Hopefully soon you guys will be wanting to port our Note 8 7.1.1 Port

Special Thanks from FullOfHell to Metabolic12, thedarkknight2023, you guys helped me get into this. Thank You!

I'm going to also throw out some thank you's to our loved ones for dealing with our laptops incessantly being open and our "phoning".
We just want our phones to be cool and its a fun hobby that allows us to keep learning.

And also thank you to Mr.Duck254 for being my partner in development. We make a great team!

If any of you would be so kind as to donate to our cause, we would really appreciate it, these builds do take some time to do and we are actively working on furthering our J7's development.

here is the fix for the smart view. U need a root explorer to do so. I recommend Mixplorer, download apk. DO NOT INSTALL like a regular apk. Using root explorer, go to root/system/priv-app. once in there create a new folder. Name folder SmartM. Copy the above smart mirroring apk into the newly named SmartM folder. The permissions should be set automatically as rw-r-r for the apk. just double check to be sure. Once that is done reset phone. U should now have a Smart Mirror icon under your notification drop down options. you should be able to connect to chrome cast and some smart tv's and mirror your phone. I tested this myself and it works fine. This version of smart mirroring is the note 8 version which is a little cooler in my opinion than the some of our other roms that have it. It is easier to just add this fix this way than re upload the whole rom and have u guys reinstall. additionally, I tried to make a flashable fix but I use linux and dont have that capability. or I dont know how yet. lol

Did not work for me. Pretty sure I did everything correctly. I am not unfamiliar with these kinds of things. Wonder if there was something I missed. I upgraded stock 1st to 711. Odin'd TWRP. installed Nova. Installed Supersu and encryption breaker. loaded up OS and downloaded a root browser and created the SmartM folder anc copied apk to it and verified permissions and went back into twrp and factory reset. loaded OS again and no smartview

sorry. U don't have to factory reset.that erases any modifications.install as instructed into nova rom. Then just reboot.

This does not work for me after following the instructions. No icon appears. I Odin'd twrp. Booted. Twrp'd supersu. Booted. Installed a root browser and created smartm and pasted apk. Have to correct permissions. Reboot. Nothing.

After install go up to notification bar, pull down select button order. Smart view is one of the icons that is not defaulted so its prob there. I have done this on 2 j7's now and i forgot the last part. So change your quick tiles and there it should be

Also, u do not have to keep using Odin and twrp every time. Just install the folder in priv app and reboot. Check notification quick tiles. It is up there. I did it again myself a 3rd time just to make sure. If u cant get it use allcast. Smart view only works if u have a chrome cast or roku anyway. And mirrors your screen onto the tele.

Oh, I do it every time because when something doesn't work, I always go back to my working MM backup until I try again. Then of course I have to re-upgrade to N, unrooting in the process, thus having to re-Odin etc. I had looked there in the buttons each time to see if it needed to be added too and unless the icon is not the normal icon or not labeled appropriately, it wasn't working. Although casting did work when using a casting icon/shortcut downloaded from google play. So i can live without a drop down as long as casting actually works. I wonder if this fix works on all rooted nougat roms that have it disabled.

Hmm weird. Its stumped me. Are u just trying to mirror your phone? I cast movies with an app called terrarium and it has an inbuilt casting feature. Btw, The icon looks normal. See screenshot. I have no idea. But all cast is a good one. Let me know if u want premium i can link you to my cloud with modded app

 

[GuestK0010]

All cast

Go to settings and make sure visible to nearby devices are on under connections i think. Me and mr duck tried it and can confirm it works in nova

Gotcha, will try that when I get another chance. Thx a bunch for all the effort and replies! Oh and BTW, yes, just trying to mirror my screen because my family and I like to use apps like cw and cw seed and mirror them because we are cable cutters lol
